Boris, Davis, Kearney, Scott, Harris, Brown, Cameron, Clegg

Real life has been catching up with me recently and haven’t really been keeping up with the developments in political life so this is a quick run-down of my opinions on various matters:

Speak to Me (Once More)!

Hi all, I would like to sound you all out on the possibility of running real-time chats, via coveritlive, with prominent party members.
Like most, I have been massively impressed with Millenium’s blogger interviews.  The chance for us hoi-polloi to go and talk face-to-face with the top people in one of the main parties in British [...]
